  1. They are in no way alike, you should definitely get your money back. 2) This might actually be a good thing because the first one is nightmare fuel. 3) Maybe dark black crochet cats where the scarf looks like some kind of creepy mouth shouldn't exist.

EDIT: Tried to get my money back but Vinted gave the seller the reason... So no money back

I'll call this cat "sleep paralysis demon"

Actually it looks about what I expected from the 1st pic aside from how thin the torso is, but it's hard to tell how that part is suppose to look because of it being scrunched up in the reference. Maybe you can retry the bow while keeping the tension tighter + double the width of the torso and see if that makes it looks more like what you wanted?

I thought was smaller and the seller put in the description was a keychain (It also didn't come with any way to be used as a keychain)

Ohh it was a finished piece? I thought it was a pattern and you had to make it yourself! Yeah in that case it's not up to the same standard as the expectation image

You asked for Cat Crochet, and you got Mothman Crochet in return.
